turmoil in ukraine takes the forefront of the security conference in munich. what does incitement of. violence street protests have to do with promoting democracy and russia's foreign minister also hits out of the e.u. over its view of the riots that has split the country down the middle. there is no food nothing to eat or drink the militants are inside. of the prophet we want this to stop because it's a rebel held palestinian refugee camp in syria that's received its first food aid in months after dozens of people have died from hunger. does the olympic flame go to the top of europe's highest peak just a stone's throw from its final destination we told the brand new course where

cross-country skiers and biathletes will be racing for gold in a matter of days. this is a national launch from yesterday center here in moscow where just past eleven pm and eight pm in munich where the second day of the security conference is now drawing to a close and it's the two months of turmoil in ukraine that have been in the spotlight with both the country's foreign minister and opposition from klitschko having this say. the authorities were saying that they have complied with the demands of the protesters are canceling the so-called law which basically triggered the latest wave of mass protests in the country and freeing all of those who've been detained

during the protests including formal writing a radical but judging by what we've heard from one of the leaders of the opposition and former boxer vitaly klitschko he's not ready to stop this fight perhaps like in a boxing match since he said this is not enough what they want to see are completely reforms of the financial and political system in the country and they want to see early in the elections and clearly in many western countries have been on of their side that we've heard from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry will said the time for kiev has come to decide whether it's with one country or with the rest of the world adding that washington supports the ukrainian people but many have criticized this a one sided approach including russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov you have to deal with it is the new company from the new one has to answer some fundamental questions that are rising in connection with the situation in ukraine and the bromeliad question which one does inside mend. recently violent street

protests have to do with promoting democracy why don't we hear the condemnation of those who sees and hold government buildings and the police torture the police use racist semitic and nazis why many prominent if you look at the politicians actually encouraging suggestions to look back home. to surely punish any violations. some strong words there from russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov hole also made a joke commenting on mr kerry's statement saying that the next time we meet he is going to ask him about his math grades in school saying it's not really clear how many countries are in that group which is. called the rest of the world but frankly from the start of the conference room unit it became clear that ukraine was going to be taking up a lot of the time here a lot of the talks since one of the first meetings that took place here was between

another leader of the ukrainian opposition arsenio. and the german president even though in germany this is more of a formal position the president many were saying that this is a hint that a lot of attention was going to be paid to ukraine and then we found out about the scheduled meeting with the u.s. secretary of state and also i want to add that none of the ukrainian officials had any separate meetings with any western partners on this issue but other are the other things of course have also been discussed here like defense system which has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the relations between the u.s. and russia and of course the conflict in syria. the u.s. secret state john kerry has retreated to washington stands with the people of ukraine but the latest poll shows two thirds of them are against the havoc that's been plaguing kiev on the country's western regions and many fears civil war and as you analyst an exam the public believes the support shown by the u.s. for the riots is all about policies. now we have the nato general

secretary. making more and more comments in this regard again favoring the protesters of course the ukraine is is geo political prize par excellence if you're moving east toward russia and obviously nato has been moving east since it says the end of the cold war more than twenty years ago the thing is it seems like the end justifies the means this is again not anything new for the west they're playing real politics and it has nothing to do very little to do with democracy it has much to do with pragmatic geo political interests and people are just being used as pawns unfortunately. those discussions continue and will be bringing you the latest updates on air and online at r.t. dot com. but the government of the opposition failing to reach a consensus on the syrian crisis there's no letup in the miserable plight of

refugees around eight hundred thousand people in a palestinian camp south of damascus remain besieged by rebels food aid was finally able to reach the area yesterday after months of waiting but these fifty five people have died there from hunger. visits at the site. another battleground of the brutal syrian war in the very heart of the country and at the edge of the regime stronghold this is your new cullison and camp here in damascus that has been held by the militants for more than a year now we are not allowed to go any further because there are military people who are controlling the situation here on the ground told us that the us now i person and the raw armed man in our and this building but it's not only from bullets that people here are dying when we visit dozens already said to have died from starvation a year after the siege began food and water supplies

a role but gone there's no food nothing to eat or drink the militants are inside as well and the soul of the prophet we want this to stop whatever guilty are we just want to go out they want to go out but they can't they're trapped those holding the camp only allow women and elderly men to go out briefly to bring in food a distributed by the syrian and palestinian officials together with the u.n. their families remain inside so they have to return to the besieged camp and rest i must say that while we're talking to one of my crescent and old men behind those collapses to the ground level no one could tell us exactly why was there of. my guards who are dying from hunger we can't take this anymore. humanitarian aid is the only achievement so far i ask those responsible how they know that the food they deliver will not fall into the militants hands they say no

one can give any going t. . siege has become a popular tactic among rebel forces here in syria just recently we went to the industrial city of outside damascus according to army generals at least five thousand tremaine trapped there sieges serve well to weaken an army is capabilities keeping a large forces tied up for long periods of time but they have another go to go to do you have their own. they claim the syrian government is besieging the palestinians in the camp they want to invert the truth by saying the syrian government is part of the killing force as they don't do anything to protect the people they want the people to hate the regime. accusations over the next scene of the syrian authorities allowed indeed government officials blame the militants for infiltrating into the cities in the first place and complain they can do little to

fight back now lisa villains could be hurt and thousands of ordinary people all over syria remain hostage inside their own homes waiting for help already three years into this conflict that could prove very long wait indeed refreshing r.t. from syria meanwhile the u.s. is challenge the syrian government over its commitment to chemical disarmament us secretary of state one damascus of possible military action if it misses the deadlines to destroy its arsenal moscow responded by insisting such rhetoric only hampers the process. there's always been great this is a hugely ambitious plan and with the lead of the russian federation and us we just wouldn't be the majority of these chemicals i'm pretty cosas pretty much stuck north of. we know the sort of fortune that's going on the air it's has to go through and there's a big. hole going on just twenty five inches from the top there are many so i

where they talk about the round tripping they say another possible explanation for the discrepancy is round shipping of goods that are export from china to hong kong and then back to the mainland australia and new zealand banking group ltd said in a report yesterday the round shipping trade has become an avenue to fuel china's cap. well inflows as a current account may have been quote improperly used as an alternative way of liquidity injection economist lulay gang and raymond young wrote so they're using this as a kind of quantitative easing fake trade they're actually putting things on boats maybe and sending it to australian and sending it back in order to make things look like their stuff is happening accounting fraud is the new opium they go into accounting fraud and stoke up a ball of. accounting fraud yeah baby let's get on that accounting fraud crouching accounting for leaping tiger of. pork thank you.
